Vehicle Overview

While the Infiniti JX35 was all-new for 2013, the seven-passenger three-row crossover becomes the 2014 Infiniti QX60 this year. Although the 265-hp 3.5-liter V-6 with 248 lb-ft of torque remains the standard engine, a new hybrid model is available for 2014. The QX60 Hybrid is powered by a supercharged 2.5-liter I-4 and 15-kW electric motor. Located under the third-row seat, the lithium-ion battery pack doesn’t affect passenger room or cargo room. The QX60 Hybrid is estimated at 250 hp and 243 lb-ft combined output. An intelligent regenerative braking system helps recharge the battery. Both drivetrains are mated to a CVT and available in front- or all-wheel-drive variants. The 2014 QX60 is EPA-rated 20/26 mpg city/highway in both front- and all-wheel-drive versions. Although the QX60 Hybrid hasn’t been rated by the EPA, Infiniti estimates a 26 mpg combined rating over the gas-only model. The QX60 Hybrid is expected to cost just $3000 more than the standard model.

In our 2013 Infiniti JX35 AWD First Test, we noted the three-row crossover felt at home on suburban streets. “Although its 265-horsepower 3.5-liter VQ35DE isn’t the most powerful engine, it performs well in this particular package and can get the 4500 pound JX to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds; passing the quarter-mile marker takes 16.1 seconds while traveling 90 mph. All 248 lb-ft of torque are sent to either the front two or all four wheels depending on trim… Mated to a retuned CVT, the powertrain is astute enough for the city blocks and highway overpasses it will likely encounter on a daily basis. Drivers who desire some semblance of an automatic gearbox’s ebb and flow will be happy to know the quiet and smooth CVT can be manually shifted to mimic step shifts.”

With the 2013 JX35, Infiniti added Backup Collision Intervention (BCI) to the existing Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) system, which engages the brakes to avoid a collision with an object behind the vehicle. The revised name and addition of the hybrid model are the biggest changes for the 2014 Infiniti QX60. While the 2014 Infiniti QX60 crossover hasn’t been evaluated for safety, the 2013 JX35 has a four-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars) and earned a good rating (the highest score) in the IIHS moderate front overlap and side tests for cars built after November 2012.

New for 2014

For 2014, Infiniti’s three-row crossover is renamed the QX60, while a hybrid powertrain is now available. The 2014 QX60 Hybrid is powered by a supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder mated to a 15-kW lithium-ion battery and CVT in front- or all-wheel-drive form.
